The 24-year-old Knight has been a bright spot for the Blackhawks this season, boasting a solid 2.52 GAA and .917 SV% in 18 games (8-5-5), but has battled through adversity lately, recording a sub- .900 SV% in five of his last seven outings (2-2-3). The Blackhawks enter the action on Thursday as +179 road underdogs against a Kings team that has scored fewer than two goals in five of its last eight games (3-3-2).

Knight will start vs. Anaheim on Sunday.

The Blackhawks will be desperate to snap a season-worst five-game losing skid, turning to Knight between the pipes on Sunday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 24-year-old Knight has a 2.47 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games this season (7-5-4). Knight is having a breakout 2025-26 season as one of the league’s most reliable netminders, but the Blackhawks will need him to be at his best against a Ducks team with one of the most potent offences in the league (3.71 GF/GP). Knight has a 2.47 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games this season (7-5-4).

Soderblom is in the starter's crease at Chicago's morning skate.

The Blackhawks are coming off a disappointing 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild and hope to snap a four-game losing skid (0-3-1) with Soderblom tending the twine on Friday against the Nashville Predators. The 26-year-old Soderblom is easily coming off his worst performance of the season, allowing nine goals on 31 shots (.710 SV%) in a 9-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Soderblom has a 3.46 GAA and .881 SV% in seven games this season (3-3-1). The Blackhawks enter Friday's contest as slight -110 home favourites against a Predators team coming off a 6-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

Knight will start vs. Minnesota on Wednesday.

The Blackhawks are in a three-game losing slump (0-3-0), but have continued to receive adequate goaltending from Knight, who has been one of the most consistent goalies in the NHL this season. The 24-year-old Knight was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%), but received no goal support in a 1-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Knight has a solid 2.38 GAA and .924 SV% in 15 games this season (7-5-3). The Blackhawks enter Wednesday's contest as +116 home underdogs against a red-hot Wild team that is 8-1-1 in its last 10 games.

The 26-year-old goaltender owns a 3-2-1 record and .912 SV% on the season. Chicago enters action on Friday at +150 on the money line.
